SUPERCONTINUUM LASERS
Supercontinuum lasers are light sources that combine the benefits of a broadband lamp (ultraviolet/visible/infrared emission) and of a laser (excellent beam quality). Since 2006, Leukos has been offering supercontinuum solutions to universities, research institutes and industry worldwide.
APPLICATIONS
Supercontinuum-based imaging empowers your applications in biology, medicine, materials science and many other areas. The following techniques are commonly used:
- Optical coherence tomography
- Transmission imaging
- Confocal microscopy
- Multiphoton microscopy
- Coherent Raman microscopy
